Hi Steve,
Yes this is now Norman Park First Baptist Church. (formerly the “first” was omitted). I am sure if your relatives were from Funston, people in Norman Park still know of them.

Does anyone know if this church was called “Norman Park Baptist Church” years ago? I have a great-great-uncle and aunt who married at Norman Park Baptist Church on Christmas Day 1916. They were Hall Brooks and Lillie Whitfield Brooks of Funston. Please e-mail me. Thanks so much! – Steve Short
Thanks for this great photo, Brian. The cornerstone bears the names of four of my relatives; I found the close-up of the cornerstone on the Georgia Galileo collection.
The big white building across the street there used to be the girls dorm for Norman College.
